LETTER: Murphy will be part of the problem

What won’t money-hungry Democrats do to get more money in their pockets? Their pushing for legalizing pot. What’s next, legalizing prostitution?

It’s bad enough they are taxing us to death and don’t care that taxpayers are struggling to stay in their homes. To date, I have yet to hear how Phil Murphy is going to cut taxes. Instead, his solution is to “increase your income.” Let’s see, how can homeowners increase their income?

Perhaps we should all work two and three jobs and low-income retired senior citizens should go back to work; 80 and 90-year-olds working at McDonalds. He also wants to “leave the school funding formula the way it is” and “fully fund public schools which provides state aid to offset property taxes.”

In other words, as an example, three-fourths of my property taxes goes to fund my schools. Murphy wants to increase aid to all schools in the state by taxing me again to pay for all the schools in the state. How does that lower my property taxes?

You should also know next year the elimination of the estate tax or “death tax” goes into effect. Before it even takes effect, if Phil Murphy wins the election, the Democrats want to bring it back. New Jersey used to be an affordable state. There was no income tax until the early ‘70s. You can thank the Democrats for that too.

Murphy, like all Democrats, wants to tax the rich. Hey, Phil, the rich can afford to leave. I can hear him (Murphy) saying, “that’s OK if the rich leave, we’ll get the money from the little guy who doesn’t mind paying taxes and if they can’t afford to pay, so what. They’ll keep voting for us.

Murphy is also “not shy about possible tax increases.” New Jersey is a Democratic state. New Jersey is controlled by Democrats in the Legislature. New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the entire country.
